I'd be perfectly happy just with something as simple as a low-pass filter. That would take care of sirens, babies crying on planes, cats yowling at night. It wouldn't help with the rain-on-a-metal-roof, but I'm not sure I'd want to silence that - it's the cosiest sound EVER :)

I love the sound of rain, too. So much, in fact, that I have an alarm clock that makes that sound when I go to sleep (and it's hard for me to sleep without it!). However, I've met people that have trouble sleeping when it rains.
At the same time, it seems like a filter would either not completely remove intended sounds, or remove it and most of all the other sounds. I hope they got some magic, though.
